Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Simplicity


Our firmament - is -
as vast as the dreaming - that -
gives it form and shape.

Each life is a piece
of this heaven from within;
one star in the sky.

And you work to gain
from the LORD above - a piece -
of heaven on earth.

So you dream a dream
in the midst of all these dreams...
a star among stars.

And you set a course
to bridge thy heaven and earth
to make thy dream true.

Adrift in the sky
- you gaze at a million suns -
all of them not yours.

And in the darkness
- set afire by thy hunger -
you find yourself lost.

Life is a big place!
It is easy to get lost.
And to get lost fast...

Simplicity - is -
A return to thy own truth.
It is thy anchor.

"A piece of my dream -
it does not have to be big...
somewhere to return."

It guards thee
from excess.

Simplicity is giving my Anne the most expensive bar of dark chocolate I can find - in the whole of the universe. Because seeing my Miyang happy is a significant piece of my own sky.

This thought gives me a very real sense of joy. It is a treasure I know I'll always have.


I am familiar with it, it is familiar with me.

So when life gets too complicated for me, I use these as my anchor. For I have more than one.

And it never fails to leads me back to my own better, clearer, truer self.

Alleluia, God is good!


The First Cause -

What causes the motion of all things (and the mystery in all things) in the visible universe IS the longing that lives within ourselves.

Each of us is a dreaming that exists within the greater dreaming of God.

Indeed, the motion of the stars and the galaxies mirror the motion of our love; for everything here is engaged in a vast and inescapable journey of return -

everything here is like - life longing for God,

everything here is like - love longing for Itself.

Aim High



Aim for the heavens!
If you don't hit the moon - then -
you can join the stars!

Therefore, be noble -
honor God through right action.
Ascend the one way!

Virtue bears
virtuous fruit.

The real danger is not in believing too much but in believing too little.

For we travel this life only as far as the limits we impose on ourselves.

When the soul becomes limited, so do we.

The journey is the destination.

Awakening the Dream

In my Mind, I dream -
the dream that gave thee thy birth,
here in exile time...

O Man, ponder this:
From this world, thou shalt depart -
and My dream shall wake!

Where art thou,
O My dream?

The Restless Sea

Restless is the sea,
and vast like the distances
between you and me...

Such is our nations
divided by our dreaming,
vast, like our hoping.

But our hopes
are the same.

Mission



Envision the dream
and live for the becoming:
I am my mission!

Seize the day, O heart!
Come work the work of winning:
Launch into the deep!

Believe. Trust.
Be fearless.
